Dropped Dead.

One of the oldest and most popu-
lar travelling men on the road, j. f.
Kelly, dropped dead in the Wabash
yards at $50 Wednesday just as he
was taking a west bound train for
Centralia. He had complained of
no bad feeling during the day and
after eating a hearty supper and
spending a few moments in chat
with friends in the Windsor office,
picked up his grip and started
toward the Union Depot. There
was a bus going down, but he pre-
ferred to walk. That was the last
he was seen alive by his friends.
He walked from the Depot down to
the Wabash yards, and as he was
about to take his train, called to
Dan Jenkins, q colored boy who
stood near, to put his grip on the
train. Jenkins did SO, but Kelly
did not follow and the train started
out. It backed to Jefferson street,
and the eolored boy got out and
went back up toward the Depot to
see what had become ofthe owner of
the grip. He found him lying on
the ground between the tracks in a
dying condition with a couple of
railroad men doing what they could
for him, but long before a doctor
could be summoned Kelly was
dead. Deceased represented the
fancy goods house of Rosenheim,
Lewis & Co., st. Louis, and was
very popular with the house and
its customers. He was about iftyz
five years of age. The remains
will be taken to st. Louis for in

eeived a telegram to bring the re-

Navigators in the North Atlantic are exercised ever the presence some where in those waters of mammoth raft, built in the shape of clgar, which it is feared may cause disaster to ships navigating in that region. The raft was launched at Two Rivers, Nova Scotia, sn Nov. 18th, and was an interesting event. It took place from ways 1900 feet in longth. The raft is nearly 600 feet long and contains 4,500,000 feet of lumber, in logs from 35 to 90 feet in length. James D. Leary, of New York, is the owner and the raft cost when launched nearly S32,000, and was to have been lowed to Long Island, opposite New York, for $35G9, exclusive Of hawSers, the vessel Miranda contracting to move it. The object of bringing timber 10 New York in thIs manner IS to get tho long est and largest logs, since Nova Scotia trading vessels can not bring sticks longer than 65 feet. The Miranda left Two Rivers, Dec. 9th, with the raft in tow, and within few days en- countered heavy gales Most of the hawsers finally parted. and to save the ship from being engulfed, the remain ing ones were cut, and the Miranda headed fer New York, arriving Dec. 20th, in a dilapidated. condition. The raft when last sighted was in latitude 10 degrees, 16 min. and longitude 71 degrees 06 min., forty miles sou sou west from the south shoals light ship on the Nantucket shoals. By instruc- tion of the Secretary of the Navy, Whitney, the sloop of the war Enter prise was dispatched in search of the lost raft.
 Later information is to the effect that the Enterprise when l35 miles southest by south from the shoals, en- countered great numbers of logs, in- ducing the belief that the raft had gone to pieces.

SAM sMALL,s BROTHER.
Why Did God Make so Much Outdoorsf
 Two WOnen's Experiences.
"Sam Small. Eyangelist 70

oam small, EVangellSG! z, .,
 The proveEbial philosophy of "Old Si, ," the venerable plantation darkey, who gave to the world through the medium Of Small's pen ma,1ims of worldly WIS dom, clothed in a verbiagc of irresistible hupor, has found permanent place ln humorous literature.
 Crest surprise was shown when 1t was announced that he, having been converted under the ministrations ot Sam Jones'" would become an evan gelist.
 At first though, huinorist in the pulpit seems incongruous. Is it really SO?
 No doubt the mere buffoon attempting to turn mems hearts to solemn truths would meet with only ccHtempt. But truth is not hidden ill gloom. Genuine humor frequently illustrates and fastens in the mind bits of wisdom that would otherwise pass unheeded.
 In his eulogy of Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Parker says: "Whenever he came among men, he brought June sun shine and music, and made even des- bonding and surly men feel that fuller and warmer summer, the Kingdom of Heaven, itself was fat hand.'" That is
 
 genial christianity.
 Mir. Small belongs to a witty family. He has brother connected with ArmOy Knox's and 'Fat Contributors" Teras Sittinqs, Ppaper which has had pheno- menaI success in the field of humorous literature MT. Frank 4. Small is the present represetative of that popular paper in England, and, Ike his distin- guished brother, he takes deep in- terest in the welfare Of other people.
 Under date of 4S Porten Road, Kens- ington w. London, Eng, Sept. 27, 1887, he writes "While at Yalding in Kent yesterday, I met Prof. S. Williams, Head Master of the Cleaves Endowed school. In the course of conversation about America, Professor Williams re- marked that Warmers safe cure had been of great benefit to his wife, who had been much troubled with a disordered liver. Warmers safe cure Gan American preparation) was all she had taken, and she had experienced none of her old trouble for some months past.
 Mrs. Annie Jenness-Miller, editor of New York Dress, and very popular woman in the fashionable world says in her own magazine for October; ''War- ner's safe cure is the only medicine l ever take or recommend. In every in stance it gives new energy and vitality to all my powers." This distinguished woman also says that for ladies this great remedy is peculiarly effective"
 Sam Small is likely to succeed as a moral teacher. When we remember how near together in human nature lie the fountains of laughter and of tears, the deep effect his discourses must have on the masses can easily be imagined.
 "Why did God make so much out doors '5exclaimed little girl. We know not. He has made it and we should grow in it, broad, charitable and genial, judging everything by merit, not by pre- judice.

A military post IS to be established at or near Globe, to the universal sat isfaction of the people of Southern Arizona. How or why this due has been so long withheld is known only to the Yavapai Indian ring of which the Prescott Courier seems to be the willing mouthpiece. But the estab- lishment of new post means the abandonment of an old one, and the doom of Fort Whipple has already been sealed, and it IS generally under stood that before grass is again green on the Yavapai hills, an order for its abandonment will be issued. This post. as well as that on the Verde, has outlived its day of usefulness and must go the way that all worthless frontier posts have gone. The disposition to concentrate troops in the immediate vicinity cf the reservation whereon the Apaches are quartered, is wise one aud meets with general approba- tion from all but those who have a moucycd interest in the bloody forays of the savage. The measure is a just one, and but for the Indian ring with headquarters at Prescott, and such paper Indian fighting generals as Gen eraI Creek, would doubtless have been adopted long ago, and hundreds of valaab!e lives aR8 lens of thousands of dollars of property saved. But in the eyes of those worthies these things were acc2gnted nothing so long as the one had to La fed with army contracts, and he pride of the other pampered with newspaper puHs. To this class, the removal of Whipple means fnan- cial ruin, but the blood of the people of Southern ArIzeua is as dear to us as fat army contracts arc to them, hence we rejoice in the adoption of a policy that promises protection to the lives of those so constantly menaced. With a post at Globe and one or two others south and east ot the reserva- tion, the country may be considered assuredly secure against future Indian deVIltry.-Arizona Citizen.
